"The measure of life is not it's duration, but it's donation."

We would appreciate your tax deductible donations, which will be used to work toward our goal to “Help ALL Hear The Music,” which means we will continuously reach out to agencies working with those who have a mental health condition and their families. We want their communities to know they are there to help and need the community support.

If not us, we encourage you to donate to a mental health organization near you. It is so very tough for agencies serving those who have so many needs and challenges related to mental health.
